Terps women have No. 1 class

The Maryland women's basketball program's three-member 2010 recruiting class is tops in the nation, according to one scouting service.

AllStarGirlsReport.net ranks the Terps' class -- which is composed of Alyssa Thomas (7), Laurin Mincy (9) and Natasha Cloud (31) -- No. 1 in the country.

ESPN HoopGurlz also updated its rankings recently, with Thomas (7), Mincy (23) and Cloud (96) all cracking the top 100. Thomas was previously rated the No. 42 player by HoopGurlz.

The Maryland commit made a case on multiple occasions to be considered one of the most versatile and complete players in the class. She does a little bit of everything and all of it pretty well. She has the size, strength and athleticism to play as many as four positions on the floor and should be a legitimate threat in the ACC to play at least two of them. She has long been considered a top prospect with a ton of upside, but what lifted her into the top 10 was her ability to take games over and carry a team.
